@enbridgethe3rd The first thing they teach you to survive a fragmentation grenade blast is to drop on the ground. Getting behind a post will also protect you from the explosion.
@AngelicaOung At this point, American citizens should identify as Chinese to see if the political elite will finally pay attention to the nation's problems.
@AngelicaOung The most incredible thing about these people is how they are able to see imaginary problems in China but are unable to see the real problems that could destroy American society.
@VaibhavSisinty - The cost of deploying anything in space is incredibly high, even with reusable rockets.
- Thermal management in a vacuum is much less efficient than in a medium.
- These GPUs are not radiation-hardened.
@136Division On the battlefield, you have to be realistic. Drones are part of modern warfare. It's better to develop tactics early than late. Although one strategy could be to send in a swarm of autonomous drones that kill everything they see.
@ArbitrageAndy1 Americans aged 26 have had to deal with this in:
Korea: 1950-1953
Vietnam: 1964-1975
Kuwait: 1991
Iraq: 2003-2011
Afghanistan: 2001-2021
Probably now in Iran.
@SugarGliderDude@TheDeadDistrict The roll maneuver and the column or arbor limit the amount of shrapnel that hits you. If it hits you while you're standing still, it would hit all your vital organs.
@ikkosato15310@CoffeeVani22446 I have no prejudice against your country and I hope everything is resolved peacefully. But it's being manipulated by unscrupulous individuals who want to turn it into the Ukraine of the Pacific, a missile sponge for the Americans.
@ikkosato15310@CoffeeVani22446 That's not a nuclear explosion, that's a normal thermobaric explosion, and what's on fire is an aircraft carrier. A missile hitting pinpoint accuracy.
@Brad_Setser@OopsGuess The government has allowed the Yuan to float since 2010. So the Chinese government doesn't have much influence over the currency except for interest rates.
@ikkosato15310@CoffeeVani22446 They are better prepared than your country for energy shocks. They still have access to Russian and Iranian oil. Those missiles can destroy Tokyo in 5 minutes. And unlike your country, corruption is unacceptable.
@ikkosato15310@CoffeeVani22446 Man, it's pretty likely your country would be absolutely destroyed if Japan decides to start a war with such a large country. I'm not even kidding.
@Brad_Setser The local trend is towards EVs. Even Musk knows that.
They're not going to buy expensive, average-quality American cars, thanks to Trump's tariffs, when they can get local, Japanese, or Korean vehicles at much better prices.
Lower the prices and you'll sell more.
